		Qin annexed the lands of the other feudal rulers and created over thirty provinces, putting in order the fords and passes, relying on the steep places and barrier points, and stationing armed men to guard the region.
		The Qin ruler, having annexed the lands of all the other feudal lords, faced south and called himself an emperor, proprietor of all within the four seas, and the gentlemen of the empire docilely bowed before the wind of his influence.
		Qin put an end to the Warring States period and made itself ruler of the empire, but it did not change its ways or reform its system of government, which shows that the means employed to seize an empire differ from those needed to guard it.

	Hero: review by Shelly Kraicer
		Their delirious extensions of King Hu’s innovations – including A Chinese Ghost Story [Qiannü yougui, 1986], the Swordsman series (1990-93), and Dragon Gate Inn [Xin longmen kezhan, 1992] – were wildly popular with Chinese audiences, and attracted the attention of a subculture of Western filmgoers and festival programmers.
		But the King discovers this to be a false tale, and offers an alternative story, in which Nameless and his adversaries become co-plotters against him.
		In this they are apparently accompanied by the King, who justifies his yearning for absolute power, for control of “all under heaven,” by explaining that this is the necessary condition for peace, defined as an absence of fearful chaos.

	Zhang Ziyi CSC: News: Variety Hero Review
		Narrative is simple: After 10 years during which no one has managed to find three legendary assassins, a country sheriff called Nameless (Li) arrives at the palace of the King of Qin (Chen Daoming) to report mission accomplished, with physical proof of his success.
		The audience between Nameless and the King -- held in a vast, almost empty reception hall, the two separated by a bank of candles which later prove a crucial plot element -- is the framework on which the several flashbacks of Nameless' exploits reside and, especially in Chen's sly performance, provide ongoing suspense.
		As the king questions Nameless' version of events, a different set of variations unspool over the subsequent 50 minutes, with the characters' change of garbs reflecting their different attitudes as the real story eventually comes to light.
